EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor print depicts the Sacred Kingfisher, Todiramphus sanctus, a vibrant and sacred bird native to the Pacific islands. Painted in the 18th century by the Port Jackson Painter from the esteemed Watling Collection, this illustration showcases the bird's stunning blue and cream plumage, long, pointed bill, and distinctive collar. The Sacred Kingfisher is a member of the Coraciiformes order, within the Alcedinidae family, and is commonly known as the River Kingfisher or Sauropsida. The bird is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, its head turned slightly to the side as it surveys its surroundings. The intricate anatomy of the Sacred Kingfisher is on full display in this illustration, from its long, slender legs to its broad, powerful wings. The Sacred Kingfisher is a significant bird in many Pacific cultures, revered for its beauty and believed to possess spiritual powers. The Port Jackson Painter, an anonymous artist whose works are highly sought after for their exceptional detail and accuracy, expertly captures the essence of this remarkable bird. This illustration is a testament to the artist's skill and the beauty of the natural world. The Sacred Kingfisher continues to captivate ornithologists and naturalists alike, and this print is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history art or bird illustrations.
